- kspacewalk2 3y agoJournalists, as well as "journalists", are going to get paid one way or another. If it's not subscriptions or ad revenue, it'll be in some other form.

- brightlancer 3y ago> Journalists, as well as "journalists", are going to get paid one way or another. Says who? Lots of journalists have been laid off in the past decade because of media consolidation -- some of them found other jobs or went independent, but most had to find another field because _the money isn't there_. The media companies will get paid one way or another, but the companies are not journalists.
